🔒 Security

Currently, dbm encrypt only passwords. dbm use a secure ways used by the major part of password manager tools. dbm encrypts passwords using the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES-256) in Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) mode, along with a salt and a password-derived key (PBKDF2).

According to OWASP recommendations, the minimal required iteration for PBKDF2 is 600.000 but we have increased it to 1.200.000. If you want change this value, you can download source code and update it in /internal/pkg/goliath/config.go.

Since dbm is open-source, you can see the implementation here: /internal/pkg/goliath.
